    Questions about which breed would be best to put my Barred Rock and BR x Speckled Sussex roos with.

    I have a mixed flock, and I'm not interested in keeping breeds pure. I prefer to crossbreed and see what will come out. It is my long-range goal to have a flock that lays multi-colored eggs,forages well, broods their own chicks, makes a nice table bird, and is suited to my locality. A land race...

    Very low egglaying numbers

    Not sure what to do...

    A few days ago, the Speckled Sussex hen went AWOL. I didn't see her for several days, and had almost given up on her. Yesterday she suddenly turned up outta nowhere. Long story short, it turns out she's sitting a clutch of ten of her own eggs, in one of the window wells, hopefully fertile by the...
